How to Rotate PDF Pages

1. Upload PDF: Drag and drop your PDF file into the upload area, or click to select a file from your device.

   • Custom per page: Set a different rotation angle for each individual page in the document.
3. Select rotation: Click one of the rotation buttons, or choose from the per-page dropdowns.
4. Download: Click "Rotate & Download" to save the rotated PDF to your device.

Features

• Two modes: Rotate all pages at once, or set custom rotation per page
• Three rotation angles: 90° CW, 90° CCW, and 180°
• Preserves content: Only the viewport is rotated; text, images, and layout are untouched
• 100% private: All processing happens locally in your browser — your files never touch our servers
• No quality loss: Rotation is applied as PDF metadata, not re-rendering
• Custom filename: Name your rotated output file before downloading

Common Use Cases

• Fix scanned documents: Correct pages that were scanned sideways or upside down
• Landscape pages: Rotate specific pages in a report to display wide tables or charts correctly
• Photography books: Fix portrait photos that were saved in the wrong orientation

Privacy & Security

Your files are never uploaded to any server. The rotation operation runs entirely in your browser using JavaScript and the pdf-lib library. No data leaves your device at any point during the process. You can even use this tool offline after the initial page load.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will rotating a PDF reduce its quality?

No. PDF rotation is applied as a metadata change — the actual page content isn't re-rendered. Text remains crisp, images stay at full resolution, and there's no quality degradation of any kind.

Can I rotate only some pages and leave others as-is?

Yes! Switch to "Custom per page" mode. Each page will have its own rotation dropdown set to 0° (no rotation) by default. Only change the pages you want to rotate.

Can I rotate password-protected PDFs?

No. Password-protected PDFs cannot be processed by this tool. Remove the password protection first using a PDF editor, then rotate here.

What's the difference between 90° CW and 90° CCW?

90° Clockwise rotates the page to the right (landscape left-to-right). 90° Counter-Clockwise rotates the page to the left (landscape right-to-left). 180° flips the page upside down.
